Fall 2021: VLSI for Wireless Communication and Machine Learning

This course will survey methodologies to design energy-efficient and/or high­performance VLSI systems for the state-of-the-art wireless communication, machine learning, and signal processing systems. The primary focus of the course is on designing hardware-efficient algorithms and energy-aware VLSI IC architectures to deliver the performance and efficiency required by various signal processing and machine learning applications. The course will be a mix of lectures and student-led presentations/projects. The content will be suitable for senior undergraduates or graduate students interested in hardware-efficient algorithms and their VLSI implementations.
